In this section, we shall look at the two types of home insurance plans that are available depending on what you want to cover. We shall discuss at length the two main types of home insurance in Kenya. Which type of insurance covers homes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#004ab4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Landlords_and_Homeowners\"><\/span>Landlords and Homeowners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a landlord who owns rental residential properties, this would be the best plan for you.

What this means is that this is the dwelling where the insured is staying together with their family and is not for renting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amssurity.co.ke\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Blog-Images-_750-\u00d7-400-px_-_16_.webp\" alt=\"Home insurance in kenya\" class=\"wp-image-508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amssurity.co.ke\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Blog-Images-_750-\u00d7-400-px_-_16_.webp 750w, https:\/\/www.amssurity.co.ke\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Blog-Images-_750-\u00d7-400-px_-_16_-300x160.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.amssurity.co.ke\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Blog-Images-_750-\u00d7-400-px_-_16_-345x184.webp 345w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#004ab4\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_covered\"><\/span>What is covered?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fire, lightning, thunderstorms, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions.
